Blog: Living With Ravens. Wednesday, January 29, 2014. KLONDIKE, The Real Story. Yes, I get it. When you're telling a story, you utilize literary license to showcase the bigger truth of the story. You fudge a little on dates, maybe ignore conflicting or immaterial information, certainly beef up events that weren't necessarily meaty. However, in the recent airing of. I'm sorry because an opportunity was lost to tell the real story . Simply echoed yet another episode of Gunsmoke. Upper right: Dawson City.

Blog: Living With Ravens. Sunday, June 27, 2010. Ow do you spell ‘solstice’? I’d never before had the occasion to spell it, even talk about it, but living for the summer the Land of the Midnight Sun was going to change all this. 8220;S – O – L – S – T – I – C – E,” said someone. Skagway has several parties that take up two weeks of fun and good times, but the actual night of. Isreal and Joe and Joe's truck. We drove over to the school where the guides from other tourist industries piled a couple more on&...

Blog: Living With Ravens. Wednesday, July 20, 2011. 6: 5 of 6- Bear! Someone yelped as we- Bethany, Stanley, Wayne, me- headed north along the Klondike. Wayne hit the brakes, swung a u-eey, and nosed us south, creeping, bear ahead. Aware of we were approaching, Mr. Bear seemed unconcerned, no doubt figuring we were of no threat to his dandelions and other grub prevalent along the highway. I grabbed my camera, put it on video, and leaned out the window. And we of course we have the gummy bears. They.

Blog: Living With Ravens. Thursday, September 2, 2010. Skagway: Renewal and Reassurance. Taiya River, north of Dyea, Alaska. I was feeling burned out from juggling two jobs here in Skagway, Alaska, fretting about lack of hours, a chronic problem. Too, I’m so far from home and a prevailing sense of isolation and loneliness was taking its toll. But then last week Chilkat Float Tours treated everyone at Alaska Excursions to a ride down Taiya River. Can a day be lovelier. Hang Glider Above Nelson Glacier.

Blog: Living With Ravens. Sunday, May 23, 2010. What brings you to Skagway? T alking to Bonnie from Boston. She's seated in the conservatory at Jewell Gardens, Skagway, Alaska, with other tourists from a cruise ship. I am pouring her English Rose tea prepatory to a real treat of a lunch: smoked salmon quiche, salad, Nolan Jahn's soup of the day, and rhubarb-begonia bar. Always rhubarb at Jewell Gardens. I attempt an answer. I couldn't, I did, and here I am," I tell Bonnie. God only knows," I tell Bonnie.

Blog: Living With Ravens. Wednesday, February 13, 2013. Asked me what people in Skagway did during the winter, they certainly asked the question of Dawsonites in Dawson City, Yukon, some 400 miles even farther north. It seemed inconceivable to visitors that people would actually live way up there. 8220;Do you see the green building to your right? And this is what I intend to try. I’d think to myself. Lucky me, last week I did just that. I first watched four games at Dawson City’s 114. I actually got off ...

Blog: Living With Ravens. Thursday, July 19, 2012. Dawson City: Gold Rush Town and Life Redefined. Current and lingering recession has challenged many of us in ways similar, I think, to the folks back in 1898. Back then, the entire world had been plunged into economic depression through the Panic of 1893 and some of the more desperate (or adventuresome) gave it all up and headed for Alaska and the Canadian Yukon to see if they could get some of that gold everyone was talking about. For family and friends...
